Here’s a clip that didn’t make it to The Dark Knight Rises Blu-ray (I ought to know, I bought it): Outtakes featuring Tom Hardy’s Bane teaching his henchmen about the benefits to a high-fiber diet, Batman’s playlist for “The Bat,” and a bit of super villain-freestyle at Gotham stadium.
Okay, so these are not actual outtakes from The Dark Knight Rises . After all, Christopher Nolan has spoken in the past about not including outtakes or deleted scenes on home media versions of his films, replacing them with tedious hours-long documentaries about things like the evolution of the Batmobile instead. But I digress.
The video below was posted to YouTube on December 7 by Auralnauts , and is semi-approaching viral with nearly 800,000 views as of this posting.
Whatever is going on in your day, whether you’re a Dark Knight Rises fan or not, this clip is worth eight minutes of your time. Whoever dubs Bane’s voice is so spot-on, you’d think it was Tom Hardy’s own strange cadence and vague ethnic accent.
In the clip, Bane stresses the importance of a healthy diet (on that ideally includes plenty of fiber) and interrupts the Gotham Rogues game with explosions and some sick free-styling. As a little bonus, scenes involving Batman flying “The Bat” are re-dubbed with familiar songs that should at least encourage a giggle or two.
Show these guys some love and push up their views. I’d say they’ve earned it.
